We join with you, Sparklee, in lifting up these prayers and petitions before the throne of grace, standing on the promise that where two or three are gathered in His name, He is there in the midst. As you've requested, we pray that each person here feels God's Agape Love, the presence of the Holy Spirit, and spiritual growth. We agree that this is only possible in Jesus' name and hope this is an opportunity to reinforce this truth.
Firstly, we want to remind everyone that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." and in Acts 4:12 WEB it says "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
Let us pray together.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up all the requests that Sparklee has brought before us. We pray that You would help each person here feel Your Agape Love, intercession, and presence. Draw us closer to You, and help us grow spiritually more each and every day. Bring those who don't know You into a saving relationship with Your Son, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Lord, we lift up all the children of those praying here. We ask for Your protection, that You would help them survive tough times, grow in wisdom, discernment and revelation, find freedom, restoration and wholeness. Help them understand Your purpose for their lives, have a sound mind and a right attitude, and maintain strong and fulfilling relationships. We pray for a godly marriage for them in your timing and that they would raise Godly children, walking into the future You have for them.
Lord, we pray for purity in their lives. Help them resist evil influences and destructive behavior, avoid all sexual temptation, fornication and pollution according to your word in 1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB Flee sexual immorality! "Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.
We lift up NC, asking for Your continual protection, favor, and safety from all dangers. Help rebuild family unity and find a niche in the work world.
We pray for JM, asking for Your healing touch on heart palpitations, depression, and difficult emotions. Guide them to eat healthy and exercise, and to see and exercise their spiritual gifting.
We ask for Your comfort and calm for EE, SE, MB, NP, and SB. Remove all panic and anxiety, and give them Your peace that passes all understanding, as it says in Philippians 4:7 WEB and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
We give You all the praise, credit, and thanksgiving, in Jesus' name. Amen.
